Peter Rabbit had found shelter from Reddy Fox in Farmer Brown's little sugar house in the maple grove in the Green Forest. A Merry Little Breeze had blown the door shut and Peter was is prisoner. He was much upset. There isn't any feeling any much worse than that of being a pris- oner. By uiirl by he had heard someone singing. He couldn't be- lieve his own cars.

It wasn't much of a song. but still it ires good to hear. Peter couldn't guess who it might be sinvinrz. He r-nuldn't think of Im.V feathered neighbor who would be in that little sugar house. Bv and by he discovered an Old friend- It was Whitefoot the Wood MOUSE. He was on the bunk under which Peter was hiding. Peter asked Whitefoot where that singer was and Whitefool told him that he was the one who had been sing-

Whitefoot. ”Mit-e can sing and do sing. Cousin Nibblcr who lives in the big house and the barn, some- times sings. At least, live been told so. Members of my family often sing. So, when you say that you don't believe it was me sing- ing just now. you are showing how little you know."

Peter didn't know just what to say to that. He still couldn't be- lieve that that singing he had list- ened to could possibly have come from his small friend with the white feet. "How about proving it to me?" said Peter.

”What do you mean prove it to you?" asked Whitefoot,

"sing again," replied Peter. "sing right here where I can hear you as well as see you."

"Probably you won't believe it then." squeaked Whitefoot.

"Yes, I will, I always believe what I see and hear," declared

Peter.

Little Whitefoot began to chuck- le. It was a funny little chuckle. a squeaky little chuckle. "Do you really mean that?" he asked.

"Of course I mean it," said Pet- er. ”What are you chuckling about? . p

It Isn't. ...c.. the opcning gun tired in the auction is a six bid. It seems to me that if there is such a bid possible South had the hand for it after three pass- ea. Against the possibility of missing seven, or going down at six, must be weighed the pre- emptive value of the bid. The opponents are likely to have a good save which might be blocked out by the opening six heart bid, whereas a two heart bid may permit the adversaries to get to- gether for a sacrifice.

West, however. refused to be shut out by South's explosive opening bid, and promptly over- called with six spades. North bid
